Alfred McGinnis AKERS b.circa 1850 KY/TN

I am looking for the parents & siblings of Alfred McGinnis Akers (may have been spelled EAKERS).He was born circa 1850. He married Mary Wren of Corryton TN in January 1870. He fought in the Civil War and named his children after Confederate generals. He died in 1925 and is buried in Luttrell Cemetery in Union County, TN. His son, James Hampton AKERS (b.2-5-1872,d.11-1-1962) was called an 'ox-cart' baby because it is said that he was brought to TN from KY as a baby in an ox-cart. Alfred AKERS was my husband's ggrandfather. Any info would be appreciated.
